Categorisation in Infancy
In our studies on infant categorisation we address the perception of similarity and dissimilarity in the developing mind. One focus of our research in this area is the impact of labelling on category learning in preverbal infants: does hearing similar words for similar objects facilitate category formation?
Sleep and Language Development
Does sleep help infants integrate language experience, such as the meaning of a new word or how a word sounds in different local accents?

Advances in Understanding Mechanisms of Cortico-Thalamic Interactions in Cognition and Behavior
Although it is customary to think of the thalamus as a relay that enables corticocortical communication, converging methods of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and optogenetics have highlighted the important contribution of the thalamus as a structure whose activities regulate cognitive behavior. This minisymposium presents an exciting array of findings that are making seminal contributions to our understanding of systems-level mechanisms affording new insight and perspectives into the so-called cognitive thalamus.
The Jeffrey Gray Behavioural Neuroscience Facility
This interdisciplinary research centre is named after the late Professor Jeffrey Gray, who was one of the founders of behavioural neuroscience in Oxford. It is based in a brand new state of the art laboratory for rodent behavioural testing funded by the Wellcome Trust. The facility is managed by the Department of Experimental Psychology with significant involvement from, and collaborative work with, a number of other departments including Physiology Anatomy and Genetics, Psychiatry, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Pharmacology and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences
